Customer Reviews
First class book on managing your emotions
Absolutely first rate book on how to manage yourself in the workplace. The book goes through the full range of emotions and how to make them work for you. I am actually angry about a matter at the moment and I am using the instruction in the book as a way to manage the situation. A truly great asset to have at hand.
Not only spiritual but practical guide to handling work
While many such books manage only to highlight the difficulties of the world of work, Lewis Richmond fills his with really practical advice on top of spiritual insight. His experience as a Soto Zen monk turned entrepreneur is both unusual and valuable.
I liked it because I could see my own situations in it -- everything from why I loved my work to why I occasionally hated it, from conflict to quitting, inspiration to accomplishment.
